Until Leaves Fall in Paris
Until Leaves Fall in Paris | Sarah Sundin
7 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
As the Nazis march toward Paris in 1940, American ballerina Lucie Girard buys her favorite English-language bookstore to allow the Jewish owners to escape. Lucie struggles to run Green Leaf Books due to oppressive German laws and harsh conditions, but she finds a way to aid the resistance by passing secret messages between the pages of her books. Widower Paul Aubrey wants nothing more than to return to the States with his little girl, but the US Army convinces him to keep his factory running and obtain military information from his German customers. As the war rages on, Paul offers his own resistance by sabotaging his product and hiding British airmen in his factory. After they meet in the bookstore, Paul and Lucie are drawn to each other, but she rejects him when she discovers he sells to the Germans. And for Paul to win her trust would mean betraying his mission. Master of WWII-era fiction Sarah Sundin invites you onto the streets of occupied Paris to discover whether love or duty will prevail.

I enjoyed this. I liked Lucie‘s chapters (they alternated) more than Paul‘s. Not quite 4 stars for me – maybe too many WWII books? Also probably the bits of pieces of the Lord peppered in there; there wasn‘t a lot of it, but it just felt strange to me. I guess I‘m not used to reading “Christian fiction”. The end wasn‘t a surprise, but there were a couple of twists to get there

The kids thought something was wrong with me. I kept laughing out loud and crying too!

Paul and Lucie were amazing main characters, with depth and heart, and courage, and I wish I could sit down and talk to them about their experiences. But 4 year old Josie was my favorite. She stole my heart, and will probably keep it for many years.

I received an advance copy of this book from #NetGalley and chose to review it here. All thoughts are my own.

This story was so gripping from the first page to the last. It would make an awesome movie! The suspense was intense. I loved Lucie‘s character. She had the courage to do the right thing even when she thought she wasn‘t very smart.

I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.
